A Bit Of Prep Work First!
This recipe comes together pretty quickly, so it’s always best to get the prep work done first! You will need to chop or slice carrots, green pepper, celery, red onion, mince garlic, and then cut broccoli into small florets.
TIP: Short on time? Prep the veggies ahead of time, wrap and store them in the fridge until you are ready to cook your dinner!
Once all the veggies have been prepped, it is time to begin cooking the ground beef veggie skillet! The first things you will need are olive oil, chopped red onion and minced garlic. Set the remaining veggies aside for later.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Heat olive oil on Medium heat in a large skillet (preferably non-stick if you have it). Add chopped red onion and cook it for 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly, then stir in the minced garlic.
Cook the onion and garlic for 1 more minute, stirring often so the garlic doesn’t burn (and become bitter!).
Add the reserved broccoli, carrots, bell pepper and celery to the cooked onion/garlic mixture in the skillet.
Add Ground Beef And Spices
Lay the ground beef on the vegetables in the skillet, then add the spices (dried thyme, garlic powder, turmeric, salt and black pepper).
Use a spoon or fork to help crumble the ground beef into small pieces, and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the ground beef veggie skillet on Medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring it often as the meat and vegetables cook. Continue to crumble the meat into smaller pieces while it cooks.
The dish is finished when the meat is fully cooked through, browned and no longer pink, and the vegetables are tender to the bite. Spoon out any grease (from the meat) that has accumulated in the skillet (and discard).
Serve The Ground Beef Veggie Skillet
The recipe, as written, will yield 4 servings. Divide the ground beef veggie skillet into four portions, and serve it immediately while hot, with a favorite side dish or piece of warm crusty bread, if desired.
This is a simple yet filling dish with lots of meat and vegetables. It’s a cinch to make, fairly low in calories, and it has good flavor, as well!
I hope you have a chance to make this simple meal for yourself or for those you love, and trust you will enjoy it, too!
